4. So well put, rasputin1952!
I especially agree with this, which few people even consider:

There is never a perfect candidate. All we can do is choose one by what their records are, and how we perceive them as potential leaders. There will always be flaws, but we need not dwell on the superficial flaws one possesses, we need to see where strengths are, what will the best we can choose do to put this country back on track. And this is not just an election for president, it is an election that will need good D's in Congress...Men and women that will do what is right, not what is popular, or worse yet, things that are just plain stupid. The first congresscritter that brings up a call for a Constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, or a Constitutional definition of marriage, should be dragged out of the respective chamber and be given a shovel to clean out the DC PD horse stables.

Perfection and purity are well and good, but one must live in the REAL world these days! No such thing as a perfect candidate! How difficult is that for some to perceive?

Thank you for an honest and realistic assessment of the elections today. Good morning to ya!
